Whilst waiting in T5 for our delayed flight to Sweden I bought a small impulse purchase... a Mac Air 11". Well, I was fed up waiting for the Sony P to get any good (and the Sony store didn't have any in stock!!). Nice little netbook actually - not sure about OSX but no choice but to live with it for a few days as the Win7 disks are at home...

K and I have just returned from a short visit to Padstow to collect Grandma for Xmas. We braved the snow - and missed all the closed motorways! Padstow was quite sunny and had no snow - due to the weather in the rest of the UK it was also deserted. We took advantage of the situation by grabbing a table at Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant where we dined on lobster :)

K and I braved the snowstorms to make it to Mom's for her Birthday (and early Xmas) celebrations. The snow was getting worse and worse as we travelled to her - by the time we were there it was a complete white-out with 6" on the ground. Somehow we managed to make it back out the following morning - good little car the Merc :)

WOW - what a night. Thomsons had their 10-year anniversary ball and K and I were invited. We were put up in the Royal Gardens Hotel for the night but the ball itself was at the Natural History museum - which was lit up pink :) The night started with Champagne and got better and better. Some great entertainment and excellent company. It was all over far too soon.... but not to worry - we found a club afterwards and then trapsed back to another hotel. My evening ended around 05:30. BRILLIANT!
